These needles may either be inserted into a handle, or used free. The operation is a simple one to perform. The animal being cast and properly secured, an incision is made with the rowell scissors or the bistoury, at the most dependent parts of the bony growth, large enough to aUow the introduction of the blunt curved needle. This being pushed slowly imder the sMn, separates it from its attachments, and upon being gradually withdrawn, the periostome is passed into the tract thus formed, directly over the bony tumor. Turning the sharp edge of the periostome on the exostosis, and pressing it over the periosteum, this is divided by subcutaneous strokes down to the most superficial layer of the exostosis, which may be incised by the instrument. "When the tumor is of long standing, a seton may be intro- duced by pushing into the tract, from which the periostome has been removed, the curved needle which carries the tape, and it is brought out by an opening made at the highest part of the tumor. SeweU claims that after twenty-four hours the parts become the seat of alarge swelling, and more or less inflammation may take place, but after twelve days the animal is ready to resume his work, the swelling having gradually subsided, and the lameness.
